THE FED FILES -
Welcome to The Fed Files blog! This blog was originally in support of the Fed Files column in Monitoring Times magazine. Although the Fed Files, as well as Monitoring Times, will end with the December 2013 issue, this blog will continue to support the new federal monitoring column in The Spectrum Monitor magazine. If you would like to make a comment, pass along a tip or frequency you can send it to my email address, chrisparris @ thefedfiles.com

As the powers that be mull a possible delay in the start of the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, due to Hurricane Isaac, some frequencies have been reported as active.

Secret Service and Coast Guard channels have been reported as active with both encrypted and clear communications.

I will not be in attendance this year, so hopefully some local monitors can pass along some active federal frequencies. And interesting updates will be posted here.

UPDATE:
I know it's a little late (but I tend to wait for these events to be over before posting), but here are a few active federal channels that were submitted by anonymous listeners in the Tampa area;

In the September Fed Files, I listed frequencies from my scanning trip around Las Vegas and Southern Nevada. Here is the list as published, so if you have any updates or corrections, please feel free to pass them along.

While preparing some information for an upcoming Fed Files column, I noticed that I had some "competing" blog posts with different updates on the various TSA frequencies used throughout the US. I decided to combine them all into one list, which can be found by clicking the "TSA Frequency Updates" button on the red bar running across the top of the Fed Files blog. From now on I will be updating that paget with any TSA updates.
